cannot find audio driver for XP - Page 2

Falc · 06-09-2008, 04:28 AM

Hi
I downloaded the file, opened the 'us' folder, installed the only .exe that would install out of the 3. However audio files still won't play. Anything else i can try?

**BCCOMP** · 06-09-2008, 05:23 AM

Hi Falc,
Did the UAA driver install correctly. You should see it under System Device as Microsoft UAA on HD bus (or something similar). It is the one you had the error on under System Devices in you earlier screen shot. This must be installed first for the sound to work. Please verify it is installed.
If it did not install I want you uninstall the previous driver and install this driver:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...3180330&dlc=en
Reboot

Then install this driver manually (Audio):
http://www.mediafire.com/?dg0cmmkm4y4

Extract Files to a folder. Run the installer. If it errors upon installation use device Manager.
From Device Manager, right click "Audio Device on HD".
Choose Update driver.
Check no to connect.
Install from a list or specific location.
Don't search I will choose the driver to install.
In the list of common hardware types, scroll down and select Sound, Video, and Game controllers.
Remove the check from "Show Compatible Hardware" and click on "Have Disk".
Next...browse to the unzipped folder and choose the "WiSVHe5.inf".
Ignore XP when it complains.
Reboot.

And then the modem driver here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...3180330&dlc=en

Extract Files to a folder. Manually install the modem driver through the device manager (Similar to the AUDIO Driver).

Let me know how you make out.
Please post another screen shot after you install the above drivers.
Thanks,
Bill

After installing the previous driver i still have the same error messages in the device manager i had before. I looked in add/remove programs, and it only displayed an intel driver. As i have to remove the previous driver before i install the above driver, how can i remove the previous driver first?
Thanks for your continuing support :)

**BCCOMP** · 06-12-2008, 10:40 AM

Hi Falc,
Witch driver are you referring to the UAA driver, Audio?
Can I get a screen shot of the device manager?
Thanks,
Bill

Falc · 06-15-2008, 07:11 AM

This driver
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...3180330&dlc=en
Read the data, extracted itself, then the wizard started loading up, then it exited itself, without sucessfully installing. My device manager looks exactly the same as the last screen shots, the same errors.

**BCCOMP** · 06-15-2008, 08:51 AM

Hi Falc,
When you installed the MS Updates, did you install up to SP2 and have Direct X9?
Is XP SP3 installed? I need to know this as it may cause issues.
Have you tried to install the driver (UAA) manually?
Bill

Falc · 06-16-2008, 11:39 AM

I have SP2 installed, haven't installed SP3 yet.
I am not sure if i have direct X9 installed, i am trying to check now

I didn't have enough space on the XP partition to install all the Automatic updates before, so i took an extra 500mb off the Vista parition, used acronis disk director to add the unallocated space to XP. But now XP fails to load, it just hangs on the blue loading screen. I am going to try leaving it for half an hour tonight to see if it just needs more time, otherwise i may have to reinstall XP, which is a shame because it is difficult to get Grub set up to play nice with Vista, XP and Ubuntu. I just have to solve this problem then i can get back to solving the no sound in XP issue

Falc · 06-17-2008, 11:29 AM

Hi
I have fixed that loading problem.
And i have got this driver to install correctly
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...os=228&lang=en
The problem was that i was extracting it to c:, when i should have been extracting it to h:
So the UAA driver is now installed correctly i believe

However this driver
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...s&lc=en&dlc=en
still fails to install, saying it did not find the correct media

Falc · 06-17-2008, 05:51 PM

I have installed .NET framework 3.0, i am in the process of downloading and installing direct x9.
Microsoft update still lists .NET framework 1.1 as a recommended download, should i get this one on top of v3.0?

**BCCOMP** · 06-21-2008, 10:56 PM

Hi Falc,
Sorry, this is strange. For some reason I do not get your responses. Do not know why

I am glad you got the UAA driver installed.
DO NOT install SP3
Net. Frame is OK

Try this driver. MANUALLY install (Audio):
http://www.mediafire.com/?dg0cmmkm4y4

Extract Files to a folder. Run the installer. If it errors upon installation use device Manager.
From Device Manager, right click "Audio Device on HD".
Choose Update driver.
Check no to connect.
Install from a list or specific location.
Don't search I will choose the driver to install.
In the list of common hardware types, scroll down and select Sound, Video, and Game controllers.
Remove the check from "Show Compatible Hardware" and click on "Have Disk".
Next...browse to the unzipped folder and choose the "WiSVHe5.inf".
Ignore XP when it complains.
Reboot.

Falc · 06-23-2008, 08:17 AM

I can't seem to find the audio device in HD, here is a screen shot of my device manager

Falc · 06-23-2008, 09:05 AM

The problem seems to have quite literally solved itself, i was playing around with the device manager, and clicked PCI deivce reinstall driver, after i did that windows update asked me if it could check for new hardware, i said yes and it downloaded the necessary drivers for me! It did this twice, once for conexant audio, and once for a modem, like you said, and then everything worked fine!
Thanks very much for your help :)

Are the unknown base system devices shown in the above screen shot important?

tomson57 · 06-23-2008, 10:31 AM

Hi everyone!

I hate to be nuisence its just i dont know what audio driver i need since ive re-installed windows XP its all a bit messy :(

anyone know what driver i would need my motherboard is a (Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq dc7100 SSF (pl167es) )

any help would be much appreciated!

thx folks

**BCCOMP** · 06-23-2008, 04:21 PM

Hi Falc,
If the sound is now working, All you have left is the MEDIA Reader. Here is a link:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...=reg_R1002_USE
The triple boot might have caused the issue, but Microsoft always directs to the C:\ drive and I should have made you a where of this. MY MISTAKE, SORRY. I have not been atop of this (Cancer) NO excuse!.
Let me know of any errors in the device manager.
THANKS,
Bill

**BCCOMP** · 06-23-2008, 04:26 PM

HI Tomson57,
Did you downgrade from Vista? You Info is not the same
If so you need to start a new thread.
Thanks,
Bill

~~pican~~ · 06-23-2008, 10:12 PM

Have you try RadarSync ???

I hope you can find what you looking for in there

Cheers

Falc · 06-28-2008, 03:37 AM

That other driver has cleared most of them up, i just have one more unknown device

**BCCOMP** · 06-28-2008, 07:07 AM

Hi Falc,
Right click on the error>Properties>details.
Post what is under device instance ID
Thanks,
Bill

tomson57 · 06-28-2008, 11:55 AM

Brilliant Bill thx for pointing us in the righ direction ^^

Falc · 06-29-2008, 03:01 PM

The device instance ID is ACPI/HPQ0006/4&38462492&0

Also, the graphics driver windows update gave me is around 52mb, whereas the newest version of the graphics driver for vista is 133mb, is there a newer version avaliable for XP avaliable somewhere? I have a Nvidia Geforce Go 7600
